That's different from the "book", which comes out in early april. Kind of a shorthand version for unwashed masses. Couple observations:
1. Nawrocki loves the pats players. His protoypical QB is Brady, prototypical WR is Moss, prototypical OG is Mankins, and prototypical DE is Ty Warren. Cool.
2. He is a big fan of M. Ryan and thinks Miami should draft him #1.
3. Not a fan of Jonathan Goff, Quentin Groves, Kenny Phillips. Questions Goff's stiffness, instincts, open field tackling, Groves' competitive character, Philips overall ability. Likes Beau Bell at ILB in the 3-4.
4. Likes J. Long alot, but says he will be better off at RT. Not sure how that equates to a top 5 pick.
5. Likes Harvey alot. Compares him to Willie for strong side 3-4 OLB.
6. Says Gholston and Long are both great 3-4 OLB prospects. Gholston may be the player with most upside in the draft. Merriman with not as much of a mean streak. Long is the safest pick in the draft.
BTW: Vrabel is a big fan of Gholston. Here are his quotes:
"Vrabel has gone back to Columbus several times to help Gholston work on his technique. 'He's a big kid, physical, fast. He's got all the tools. If anything, I think his technique would have to get a little bit better. When you're that strong and that powerful, you can kind of get away with alot. But at this level, he'll have to work on that. And I'm sure he will. He's a great kid and a hard worker.'"
